CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012-2017 Nissan Versa has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.

In late 2019, the CVT defect was subject to a class action settlement. However the settlement only covers transmission repairs up to 7 years after purchase or 84,000 miles (whichever occurs first).

Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Versa owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

A month after purchasing the vehicle we noticed the car veers abruptly left and right at highway speeds on a non windy day on asphalt. No grooves in the road or wind. I brought the vehicle into Nissan where they test drove it and acknowledged the problem. They did a tire balance and a road force test, after four separate trips there, Nissan said "well we couldn't find anything wrong with your tires so that's just how your vehicle is." The service manager then went on to tell me that's it's a lightweight vehicle and that's just how it is and there is nothing they can do about it and if I don't like the car they could take it as a trade-in at trade-in value and get me a loan on a different vehicle.

My wife is so afraid of the vehicle that she refuses to drive our brand new car on the freeway because it has almost caused her to get into a wreck countless times because of the severe steering issue. After plenty of research on this issue I brought it to Nissan's attention and they said until there is a recall there is nothing they can do about it. So now I'm stuck with a brand new vehicle that we can't even drive on the freeway.
